Has this bug been looked at recently?  Other distribs claimed to have
fixed it:

This is a denial of service, whether self inflicted or not, and there are
fixes out there.  There seems to be no way to clear those resources once
they are allocated by xloadimage, and one is required to restart X.
Reminds me of how things are done in the Windows world.

If I sound a bit tetchy, it's because this bug (which should have #387030
merged into it) has been fairly unacknowledged for 3 years now.  Perhaps
it is time to remove xloadimage and xli from the debian archives since
they are dangerous to use?
